Movies I Have Seen - April 2026 (1 movie)

 

4 Movies


Gandhi. 1982, Starring 



Hollywood Suite, 5 April 2026, with Dr. Connie Luther. Soundtrack: "



Anachronisms: 

When the Pakistani flag is raised for the first time, "Qaumi Tarana" plays. Pakistan's original national anthem was a different song, written days before the ceremony, and it was changed after 18 months.

In the film, Hermann Kallenbach is alive in India at or near independence in 1947. He died in 1945.

In the film, the Calcutta killings happen after Indian independence in August 1947. They actually happened in August 1946.

Footage of a speeding steam train is shown during Gandhi's visit to Britain in 1931. The UK had 4 railway companies at the time (LMS, LNER, SR, and GWR), all of which proudly displayed their initials on their engine tenders. The train shown displays the logo of British Rail, formed in 1948.

An extra wears sneakers.

The car burning in the Calcutta riot scenes (between 1946 and 1948) is an Ambassador, an Indian-made copy of a 1954 Morris Oxford.


The Happening. 2008, Starring 



Hollywood Suite, 1 April 2026. Soundtrack: "



Anachronism: 

At Ms. Jone's home, she mentions that the guest house was built to house escaped slaves during the Civil War. When the talking tube connecting the house to the guest house is shown close up, the end of the pipe is threaded. Threaded pipes were not in widespread use until long after the Civil War.

Trivia: 

The character of Marshal Jim Duncan was played by stuntman Buddy Van Horn, a long-time stunt coordinator for Clint Eastwood, in order to create some ambiguity over whether he and The Stranger are one and the same.

Anachronisms: 

When The Stranger gives the Indian children the jars of candy in the general store, the jars have white plastic seals. Plastic was unknown in the 19th century.

When the stranger rides into town, huge tire tracks like those made by a truck are seen on the road.

All houses in the city (Lago) have modern window glass of the type float glass and not "handmade" as they were until the mid-19th century.

Upon his arrival in Lago, the Stranger rides close to an enclosure, where hay and straw bales are clearly visible. Straw bales were invented after the mechanization of agriculture, not yet initiated in the XIX century.

Mordecai wears crossed bandoliers filled with .45-70 rifle rounds. Close up shots show these to be loaded with Jacketed Soft Point bullets, which were not available until the 20th century.

After the town has been painted red, a shot pans past the bell tower atop the church. The (lack of) application of paint on the bell tower edges shows it was painted with a spray gun. Also, many of the buildings have a very thin and even coating of red paint applied. Again, obviously done with a spray gun. This technology would not have been available at the time.
